Recently I was talking with a friend about design and he told me to check out this designer, Phillipe Beesley. He is mainly an architect, but also designs sculptures among many other things. Here is a link to his website. I found his work very interesting. It reminded me of some of El Anatsui's work when we worked with him last year.
This is one piece I found very interesting. It is called Hylozoic Soil and resides in the Netherlands. I found all the intricate details and movement on this piece to be really inspiring. It really is a work of art. It reminds me of an under ground cave and the beauty all the rock formations make. Beesley is really inspirational to me for creating pieces as complex as this. I also admire that he creates, not only unique pieces of art, but functional buildings. His buildings are beautiful and functional which is something I think all designers should inspire to do.
This is his plan for the University of Toronto, Southwest Campus House of Study. I find it to be a very clean and interesting layout. I really enjoyed his use of space and how each part of the campus has purpose.
I hope you found this designer to be interesting and inspirational. Comment below with any other designers I should check out or anything you'd like to say about this one.
